Plumbing conditions in Michigan
Michigan has long, cold winters with lake-effect snow and deep frost. Spring thaws and heavy rain can flood basements.
Most homes have basements, and older housing in Detroit and other cities often has aging sewer lines.
Hard freezes are a regular part of winter in Michigan, so pipes in exterior walls, garages, crawl spaces and attics need protection every year, and outdoor faucets and sprinkler lines must be drained before the first freeze.

Common plumbing problems in Michigan
Frozen and burst pipes
Cold snaps in Michigan freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages. A frozen line often splits and leaks only after it thaws, so shut off the main if you see water.
Frozen pipe thawing →Basement backups and sump pumps
Many Michigan homes have basements, where the floor drain is the first place a sewer backup shows up and a sump pump is the main defense against groundwater.
Sump pump service →Aging pipes in older homes
Older homes in Michigan often still have galvanized supply pipe, cast-iron drains or clay sewer laterals, which corrode, crack and collect roots with age.
Repiping →Flooding and sewer backups
Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Michigan push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.
